She might have denied having her lips done in the past but footballer’s wife Abbey Crouch might have some trouble putting the rumours to rest this time, as she was spotted leaving a dental clinic trying to avoid her mouth being snapped by waiting photographers.

The 27-year-old was pictured leaving the Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa last month and seemed to be covering her mouth with her hand as she walked along; however, her suspiciously large pout was revealed when she moved her hand and spoke on the phone.

Twitter followers have been speculating about Abbey’s over-sized lips for some time and the WAG has previously rubbished claims that she has had any work done – even going as far as posting pictures of herself with huge clown lips painted on, with the tagline ‘I swear I haven’t had my lips done!’

Mailonline contact the Liverpool clinic where she was spotted but they refused to confirm or deny the reports; although they did say that Abbey had previously visited the surgery to have Invisalign braces fitted, in order to straighten her teeth. Her husband, former England player Peter Crouch, attended appointments at the same clinic after suffering damage to his teeth on the pitch, when he took an elbow in the face and broke multiple teeth.

Following a trip to the dentist to repair his broken teeth, Peter Crouch has had to rely on his wife Abbey for help and support, especially since he was looking slightly queasy after exiting the clinic. The 31-year-old was involved in a collision on the pitch that resulted in severe dental damage and left him needing braces.

At the time of the accident, Peter admitted that Abbey had been very supportive, saying ‘I’ve had a lot of sympathy from her but I said when I had them knocked out it’s a good job I’m married, otherwise I’d be struggling!’ He also said that he was nervous about wearing braces, adding ‘I’ve never had to wear a brace before, not even when I was a teenager.’

Abbey and her footballer husband were seen leaving the dentist’s office on Wednesday after getting treatment for the broken teeth, although she also sparked rumours that she was having some work done herself at the clinic by appearing with a scarf covering the bottom half of her face. Speculation in gossip magazines suggests that the 26-year-old was hiding her plumped-up lips, which were attracting attention last week for all the wrong reasons. The model may be trying to obtain a more mature appearance after suffering the embarrassment of getting turned away from the Playground nightclub at Liverpool’s Hilton Hotel.
